Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: June 11, 2007
To: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Tim Barnum, Manager Electric Utility
Agenda Item: Transformer Purchase
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Electric Utility needs to order a 225KV transformer to serve the Breeze Inn. None of the
transformers we have in stock, or already on order, are big enough to serve the anticipated additional
load of their new addition. We have very limited space to install the transformer, so it had to be
ordered and built to specific size specifications. The transformer will be paid for by the Breeze Inn on
Work Order # 3906.
The Electric Department requested quotes from our regular suppliers on April 18, 2007. All
transformers quoted were too big to fit in the available space. We requoted again on May 4, 2007
with size specifications and received 2 quotes. The responses are attached. Wesco provided the
low quote.
